Estrada's Trip to Greece on hold until Summer
US super heavyweight champion Jason Estrada of Providence, RI will not be part of a Team USA amateur boxing contingent heading to Greece this Saturday as earlier reported. Estrada, of Providence, recently bruised his hand and he has been scratched from the Athens Olympic Test Event for precautionary reasons.
"It's not serious, only a slight bruise," Estrada's father and coach reported. "But we don't want to take any chances being so close to the Olympics. Jason is disappointed he isn't going to Greece for this competition, but he'll be going over there in August and we want him to be 100-percent. He'll be following his dream and going for gold at the Olympics."
